Counterplanning can be successfully used against most methods of resolving goal conflicts. However, if one's intentions are disguised by deception then an opposing actor will use incorrect counterplanning or possibly none at all. This paper describes two components in the creation of a deception, the deception type and the enablement type, the range of their possible values, and how the selction of each can be used to create different decepetions for the same situation.
